While sailing across the pacific a couple of times in the 70's, I worked KPH and KFS.
I even got to visit KFS while we were in San Francisco for a week. I bought myself a Vibroplex but must admit I prefered the electronic keyers. I had a Heathkit HD-1410. Used it for 10 years. Great days. Sad to see they've gone.
Wow!! I have not copied morse for at least 25 years, especially to write it down, and got just about solid copy from this video!! Was copying in my head on Night of Nights, but the KPH signal wasn't all that strong in NJ. It's amazing how the code stays in your head even if you don't use it. DA -- nice fist !!!

Fist is the quality and character of the sending. she has a smooth rhythm and sound and it is easy to read. making it a good fist. some senders are harder to read and would qualify as a poor fist. many opererators in what ever use of morse code weather railway or radio can tell the operator by their fist. much like one can identify someones voice. what I find interesting is the way her hand moves, almost a dance
She is like Susan Boyle. She warmed the hearts of CWpeople.Thanks. a Japanese CWer (Old Boy)

I would love to have some code practice tapes created by her at that speed. I can really "hear" her sending well.

Geez! I'm jealous.
My second class telegrapher's cert is just going to waste here. Maybe one of these days I can stop by and use it at KPH - just once.
